Bottom line

Basis
Cleaner Clean Face Wash is rich in botanical ingredients. Users say they love
how it strips away makeup and leaves their skin feeling fresh and clean; the
fragrance, although artificial, is a big hit with reviewers. It also won't dry
your skin, unless your skin is particularly sensitive or you live in a dry
environment. However, Basis Cleaner Clean does contain a few potential
irritants including sodium laureth sulfate and methyldibromo glutaronitrile.

Performance

Mostly natural, but... Oil-free, soap-free
Basis Cleaner Clean Face Wash is rich in botanical ingredients like mint,
lemongrass and chamomile. It does a good job of removing makeup -- even mascara
-- and provides balanced results for most skin types: "Dry parts were
cleaned without over drying and oily parts were cleaned and unwanted oils were
removed," writes one woman at Amazon.com. However, those hunting for a
purely natural cleanser should be aware that it contains artificial fragrance
and potential irritants like the preservative methyldibromo glutaronitrile,
which net it a "moderate" hazard rating from the Environmental
Working Group.

Feel and smell

Feels, smells great. Most users love how Basis
Cleaner Clean Face Wash rinses clean without leaving a greasy residue. "I
love how it smells, lathers, rinses, and how my face feels afterwards. Skin is
clean and soft," writes one Amazon.com user. You only need a dime-sized
amount, so one tube can last for months. Even though the fragrance is
artificial, it still draws lots of praise for being refreshing and
"clean," not flowery or powdery -- perhaps due in part to the
botanical ingredients. Most say this cleanser won't dry your skin, but if
you're unusually sensitive or live in a dry environment you may still need a moisturizer.

Basis Cleaner Clean Face Wash receives a rating of moderate overall risk from EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database, and moderate/high risk for allergies and immunotoxicity, and use restrictions, based on possible irritation and a concern of organ system toxicity from some of the ingredients.
